HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've hosted my fair share of travelers and love to clean, and I'll never say no to a beer or three. I can be great company or entertain myself, and would never expect a host to cook or clean up after me as I've read way too many horror stories about that sort of thing. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've "lived" on couches on and off for a few months in my brief 22 years here, and I'm an expert at packing light at this point. I love being on the move.

Unsurprisingly into Del Toro and Tarantino, semi-surprisingly into David Lynch and most horror.
